"A thousand dollars is easy to get, but a big pot of rice is hard to find."
The world loves to talk about Fan, and a bucket of gold is hard to find, but the understanding of Fan is not clear. "Sheng Da Pot" refers to "Sheng Da", whose pot was made by Fan Guangshan and his son. Therefore, Sheng Da teapot is not a pot made in Sheng Da, but a brand word of Fan Guangshan and his son, and this Sheng Da teapot has become a classic communicator of Yixing purple sand.
According to Fan's genealogy, "Fan Guangshan" was the 18th Fan Wangjiang, whose real name was Qingsheng, the eldest son, born in Daoguang on the first day of February, and died in Renyin on October 30th, at the age of 54. He was buried in the stone pier of Wangshui Wharf, where he went to dry. I was born in on 26th of the first month of Xianfeng, and married in Zhoujia. I am the fifth son, the son of benevolence and righteousness, the son of wisdom, the daughter of my daughter, and the son of Jiang in Shibafang Village. "
Fan is the eldest son of Fan Guangshan and Fan Qinren, and the founder of Fanjiahu Village, Master Fan, is Fan's grandson.
(Taiji Xuan Ji Fan Hu Wei Qun)
Fan Guangshan, Fan's great grandfather, didn't want his son to make a pot at first. "Summer is like a stove, and winter is like ice." Outsiders listen to it lightly, but they don't know the suffering of the people. But Fan and his younger brother fell in love with this art, apparently agreeing, but actually got up secretly in the middle of the night to make pots. On one occasion, Fan Guangshan got up in the middle of the night and found a light in the studio. He used to see his two sons making purple sand sculptures with crutches. An eagle was vividly shaped by them, with a delicate appearance, but it always felt that it lacked some charm.
Fan Guangshan was furious when he learned of the incident, and knocked his crutch on his son's shoulder in desperation. He never imagined that Fan flashed, the top of the crutch brushed and hit the eagle's neck, so the end was one-sided, and the spell became under this stick! Therefore, this sculpture is also dubbed "a giant eagle". It won the gold medal at the London Art Exhibition in 1935, which is also Fan Jiahui's most proud artistic achievement.

Master Fan's persistence in inheritance has never slackened. Fan Jiazu said, "When you are busy, plant land, and when you are free, make pots." So he named Jia Fan Hu Yi "Jia Fan Farm", but now with the land reform, Jia Fan has no land to grow, so he changed his name to "Jia Fan Hu Zhuang", as a symbol of Jia Fan's inheritance, which lasted for a hundred years, passed down from generation to generation, and even lasted for a thousand years!
Fan entered Zisha No.2 Factory at the age of 14 years and 5 years. At that time, he had not drawn a grand blueprint for the inheritance of purple sand teapot. Suddenly, one day, Zisha No.2 Factory anonymously selected several people to become Xu Hantang's indoor disciples. Vaguely Zhongfan made a blockbuster in this competition and won the first prize. It was this competition that made him Xu Hantang's apprentice, and it was also the result of this competition that made him interested in teapots. Talent and achievement are the driving forces of his interest. Fan also embarked on the road of purple sand inheritance at this time. Finally, it has reached the height of mastery and outstanding innovation in today's light element devices, flower plastic devices and ribbed devices.

In order to let the world know about the culture of China, the purple sand culture of China and the exhibitions of various countries, Huzhuang people always rush ahead, and it is very common for Fan to make pots on the spot as a representative. Japan, South Korea, the United States, Britain, Belgium and other places are his frequent places. Purple sand art has also spread to these places.
Nanyang persuasion, Panama Expo, Philadelphia Expo, Belgium Expo, Chicago Expo, etc. It is the place where the pots in Fanjiahu Village are affirmed.
For inheritance, Fan is not a person, but a Fan family. Anyone who is interested in purple sand can get his advice. College students and visitors from all over the world are the objects of his inheritance. Jia Fan Huzhuang is committed to let the world know about purple sand, and let those who are interested in joining the pot-making circle make purple sand well. Fan set up a training class in Yixing to let students from major schools visit the skills of making pots. It is common to go to school to make pots.
In addition to inheritance, Fanjiahu also has a high pursuit of Excellence for innovation. Fan's pot has a strong imprint of the times. Fan Ceng was invited to make pots for this purpose in the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Paralympic Games and World Expo, which not only has the artistic charm of Zisha, but also has the shadow of the "Congress" of the times, and is the pride of China and Zisha. Let's enjoy the same happiness and move forward together!
Inheriting ingenuity, centuries-old pot art, cultural precipitation, learning from others' strengths, and sharing happiness with the world are the eternal pursuit of Fanjiahu Village and the purpose of Fan's creation of Fanjiahu Village.
A pot, discover, cultivate and make great craftsmen in the future, and let the world praise China Zisha!
A pot, born for great country craftsmen!
